Work called me to relocate to Mumbai (One of the busiest city in the world). My train journey started from South and I crossed 2 states to reach Mumbai. I would say train travel across India would be one of the best ways to enjoy nature and culture of this diversity-tic country. I travelled with the people from different states speaking different languages and from different cultural background. It was a very good experience and I got some exposure towards people from other parts of India.

The train starts at night 8:30 pm. The train had only two plug points for the whole compartment even for the 3rd AC coach whereas it is expected in 3rd AC that atleast 4 plug points should be there. Moreover, you can hardly find any good tea/coffee in the travel. Also, food is not available nicely apart from pantry car food.

Unplanned work trip to Chennai post a hectic four days exhibition in Mumbai turned out to be a nice experience. Thanks to the warmth and love of the Chennai-ites. Train journey was extremely exhausting and lengthy, wish there were faster trains like Rajdhani running on this route. Food offered during the travel too was below average with little variety.

Our hotel booking was cancelled abruptly due to some unplanned political rally in the locality - thanks to Expedia, we were able to find an alternative hotel at an affordable rate.

We had gone on a package to madras by train it was a good journey. There were lot of people in that group. My aunty, uncle, mom and I had a good time. Use to play housie housie in the train, only tea coffee snacks man use to come. It was fun we use to pass tunnel. The noise of the train was fun, it also had good view. It was a sleeper class, the toilet are clean, the bed was ok. Only reserved people could get in.
